The dataset is provided by www.datos.gov.co and was last updated on 2026-04-03. Data includes station location, sensor details, and observation values, intended for climatological analysis and early warning systems.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatio-temporal wind patterns using FechaObservacion, ValorObservado, Latitud, and Longitud.
• Correlate humidity with geographic zones using ValorObservado, Departamento, and ZonaHidrografica.
• Map station network coverage and sensor types using NombreEstacion, CodigoSensor, DescripcionSensor, and Municipio.
• Perform quality control and anomaly detection on sensor readings using ValorObservado, CodigoEstacion, and FechaObservacion.

Strengths

• Data undergoes basic quality control aligned with World Meteorological Organization standards.
• Includes 12 columns providing station metadata, geographic coordinates, and measurement details.
• Available in multiple machine-readable formats: CSV, JSON, XML, and RDF.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• The provider notes data may contain errors, inconsistencies, or transmission delays and is not validated for legal evidence.
